The Municipality of Nannine was a local government area in Western Australia, centred on the mining town of Nannine.
It was established on 22 July 1896, separating the townsite from the surrounding Nannine Road District, following a petition from the Nannine Progress Committee.[1][2] The first election was held on 23 September 1896, with J. H. F. Masterson becoming the inaugural chairman of the council.[3] The council initially met in the Nannine Courthouse; an office for the town clerk in the town's Miners' Institute building was acquired in late 1897.[4][5] A standalone council chambers on the corner of Marmion and Simpson streets was built c. 1900, along with a public pound.[6]
It ceased to exist on 2 April 1913, when it merged into a revived Nannine Road District (the original road district having been abolished in 1909).[7][8]
